Familial meningioma.
A mother and 3 daughters had meningiomas, pathologically confirmed in all but 1 daughter. One of the tumors had mild atypical features, but chromosomal analysis was normal. In 3 of the cases, peripheral chromosomal analysis was normal. There was no evidence of neurofibromatosis.
